Description

Forty mothers. Forty cameras. One purpose: to end child hunger.

An exhibit featuring the photographs of Philadelphia women who are working to create better lives for their children.

Witnesses to Hunger is a photography project initiated by the Philadelphia GROW Project, an organization that addresses issues of child hunger and development in Philadelphia. Over forty mothers who receive public assistance have come together to document their lives and struggles raising their children using digital photography. An exhibit in the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship Café and the Multicultural Center will be on display from December 3rd through the end of the fall semester. Through presenting these images we will be challenging ideas and stereotypes on campus about public assistance, child hunger, and the right to representation through the voices of those most affected by these issues in Philadelphia.
